I went to the 9/11 museum the other day and I thought it was really well done. The highlight of my visit was walking by two dudes on a bench inside the part of the museum located on the foundation of one of the towers and one of them is explaining to the other that: "I don't think the 3rd plane hit the pentagon, they never found any pieces of a plane, and everyone says it was a missile." He actually happened to be sitting 20 feet from a large chunk of fuselage recovered from the pentagon. Has anyone else been and what did you think?

McDowell posted:How much was the admission? Get anything in the gift shop? Admission was $21 a person I think. Then you had to walk by a bomb sniffing dog (that happened to be asleep at the time), and walk through an authentic TSA checkpoint. It even had one of those bomb sniffing machines (in case the dog is sleeping). I thought it fit with the theme perfectly. The gift shop was kind of lame. Mostly books about 9/11, american flags, and model fire trucks. There was a pretty awesome "dogs of 9/11" bookmark that I almost bought though. never trust an elf posted:I work down the street and drive past it once a week. Never gone inside. What's that unfinished structure that looks like an armadillo skeleton? No idea what that thing is, but it looked pretty metal with a bunch of guys welding and grinding it with huge sparks flying every where.

hermand posted:I went to NYC on my honeymoon last year. The 9/11 Memorial wasn't finished, but you could go in to the reflecting pools. I was surprised by how much it moved me - scales of disaster are hard to fathom and we don't really have skyscrapers on your scale in the UK, especially out of London. New York is a terrible place to vacation. I only go there occasionally because of work and because I have some family there, and I hate every minute of it every single time.
